Cultural_Capital

glorious ninth (UK) + Arnolfini Café Bar + Craftivism curators

Drawing parallels between the use of bacteria and culture in traditional breadmaking and the self-organising and generative condition of network art, Cultural_Capital is a transformational artwork in which a sour-dough starter is created and grown in the gallery and cared for by the curators. Historically, a good sour-dough culture was very important to day-to-day living; it can be transported easily and can last for generations. Cultural_Capital is conceived as a touring artwork that accumulates bacteria and cultural capital from every venue in which it is installed. For Craftivism the sour-dough has been baked into bread by Arnolfini Café Bar during the exhibition and made into bruschettas for distribution at the exhibition preview.http://cc.gloriousninth.net/curators.html
